Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 3426749, member: 7953"] I have always felt that unless you can beat a player 1 on 1 then you shouldn't criticize. Unless you've won games with comparable tensions, you shouldn't criticize a player. Observations are one thing. The is a difference between an observation and a criticism. To say a player needs to be more aggressive is an observation. To say a player disappeared, indicating a lack of intestinal fortitude, is a criticism. Too build a player up is an observation; to tear one down is a criticism. I'm 72 years old and I still think of the missed shots more often then the made shots. These things will stay with these 20 year old players for their entire lives and they really don't need us inflating our over the hill egos by criticizing their efforts. [/QUOTE]
